The Halloween Tag

Thank you to Nikki at Fairest Favorites and Val at Making It Sparkle for tagging me for the Halloween Tag! Halloween isn't my favorite event but there are a lot of fun things that happen around this time. Plus, I also like the postive externality of having extra candy to eat when I don't hand all of it out.

(Unfortunately photos in this post were lost due to The Great Deletion of 2014. Some efforts to re-do photos will be made but not all posts will be redone.)

Ever since that lovely camel color shadow from theBalm's Nude'tude Palette, I've fallen in love with camel colored eyeshadows. So when I did a little swatch-poo of NYX's Blame it on Midnight, I knew it had to be mine!

Shu Uemura Fresh Pore Clarifying Gentle Cleansing Oil

The Shu Uemura cleansing oils have a pretty intense following. Even before I got into cleaning oils, I knew about Shu's oils and thought it was the pinnacle of cleansing oil goodness. Purchasing it at the duty free during my Asia trip finally allowed me to cross it off my 'must-try' list.

In line with the last post, I'm also trying to put a dent in the massive samples stash that I have. Yea...it's a little mountain of a problem..

So Close!!!

I'm sure we've all had a few products that seem to cling on for dear life. Either you feel like you've been using them forever or you just can't believe how long it has taken you to finish a decent amount. I'm nearing the life of a handful of things and just wanted to share what I'm excited about finally finishing. 

Lookbook: NYFW Spring 2014 RTW

I use to follow fashion somewhat closely. I would look out people's Lookbook profiles, avidedly read fashion blogs, check up the latest runway shows. Nowadays, I find myself more captured by the world of beauty but that doesn't mean I won't pop by Vogue every now and then to see what's going on.

I especially like the fact that Vogue captures not only the clothes from the runway but the beauty looks as well. Here are some of my picks from the Spring 2014 Ready-to-Wear lines shown at New York Fashion Week. Enjoy!

Sometimes I just want a good matte lip ok? And can I please have it without drying my lips to shreds and with long lasting color? Well, NYX has answered my prayers. Hello matte lips!

PSA: Things to Think About Before Depotting

I hate clutter.  So, when it comes to make-up, I try and depot as much of my powder products as I can. Having gone through more than a few depotting parties (really, just me and a lot of music while I work), let me share some wisdom on things you should consider.

Pimple Problems: Effaclar Duo and Clean & Clear Advantage Acne Spot Treatment

After speaking with my work colleague this week and one of my close friends, I realized that pimples are still a problem for us even though we are well over our teenage years! I can't believe that I still have to deal with breakouts and still have yet to figure out how best to tame my skin.

FOTD #3: 'Cause we don't outshine the bride

This FOTD is very very overdue! I flew back to Vancouver for a wedding in July and this was the look I wore as a bridesmaid.

I did a roundup of the Maybelline Color Tattoos here so I thought I would showcase another eyeshadow line that I really enjoy. These are the L'Oreal 24hr Infallible Eyeshadows.

Autumn Picks

(Unfortunately photos in this post were lost due to The Great Deletion of 2014. Some efforts to re-do photos will be made but not all posts will be redone.)

Ha, I actually didn't realize that I had pre-scheduled the clay mask post for Tuesday which was a happy accident since I still hadn't figured out my computer situation. Anyways, today I just wanted to showcase some of the products I predict I'll be grabbing most often in the Autumn.

Vedette Cocoa Clay Facial Mask

(Unfortunately photos in this post were lost due to The Great Deletion of 2014. Some efforts to re-do photos will be made but not all posts will be redone.)

I've always heard that clay masks are good for purifying the skin so when I saw these at the duty free in Vietnam I decided to pick one up. At $0.50CDN each, you really can't go wrong! (Sort of sad I didn't pick up more.)
